Suburbs

It took me a couple of months… but I got another version of the Christmas Lane quilt made up with a pattern.

I decided on this soft, spring like color palette after seeing this picture, then I pulled all of the fabrics from my stash and scrap bin.

I laid it over a bed and now I’m obsessed with making a version for my own bed.

I sent this one to Kathy to be quilted. She always does an amazing job and the texture her quilting adds is beautiful. I love this swirl design she does…I think this is the 3rd (or 4th!) time in a row I’ve asked for it!

A green stripe binding finished it off and the sun came out just in time to snap pictures.

This is a beginner friendly pattern and comes in 3 sizes. It uses Layer Cakes, Fat Quarters, or 1/4 yards (a photo of the back with material requirements can be found here, in the 2nd photo).

Oh, how CUTE! And thank you so much for sharing the photo that inspired your color palette. Lately I've been tearing pages out of non-quilting magazines, images of paintings or interior design projects that I love, to study the color palette and the balance of colors and textures. I'm hoping I can use those images to inspire new quilting projects that take me out of my comfort zone. It's really interesting to see where others find their inspiration!

I've been waiting you publish the pattern and now I'm so happy to get one for my self. And since I'm a beginner, do you have any suggestion how I can finish the quilt ? straight line? or hand quilt? Thank you

Love your new Suburbs pattern… and ordered it! I've wanted to make a house quilt for a long time and this is just perfect for me.BTW, thanks for making your PDF patterns cheaper than your paper patterns. There are patterns I might order from other designers, but it just irks me that the price is exactly the same. Amazing what a 50 cent price break means to someone who thinks like me!
